Getting better just got better at UPMC!

Those long, stressful days of hospital confinement can be really tormenting. Mounting hospital bills for doctor’s fee, room fee and so on can add stress too! So when my fellow bloggers and I were toured around the University Physicians Medical Center (UPMC) and were oriented that the center offers OUTPATIENT CARE in MAJOR surgical procedures, I got curious.  “How is that possible?”   
 
It was explained that due to advancement in technology, medical procedures can now be performed without confinement at UPMC.  The center uses minimally invasive procedures that make recovery time fast (it can be as fast as 4 hours!) thus confinement is no longer the only option. Outpatient care is now the new way to get better and it is now the latest trend in healthcare delivery!
Our tour at UPMC
I was with my fellow Nuffnangers months ago to visit UPMC. This private outpatient diagnostic and surgical facility is located right within the newly-renovated  UPM-PGH faculty Medical Arts Building. (They have another branch in Iloilo, too!) UPMC, by the way, is the trade name of the Mercado Ambulatory and Surgical Centers, Inc.  The tour was scheduled to finish in less than an hour but we stayed longer because we happily chatted around.  I was particularly impressed with the hospital’s cleanliness and warm personnel, and most of all, its modern facilities.
We saw the hospital’s Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC) and its fully automated Laboratory, Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, Cardiovascular, Pharmacy, Occupational Health, Physical Rehabilitation and Sport Medicine. The hospital’s modernized facilities were highly notable. I also admired the ambiance of the building- the design blends with the gereral Art Deco architecture which provides a pleasant environment for patients and doctors.
Better diagnosis and treatment due to better doctors and facilities 
  
We all know that before any medication, accurate diagnosis is necessary. And for us to have peace of mind with the diagnosis, hospital has to have up-to-date diagnostic tools.  Here are some of the advanced diagnostic facilities we saw at UPMC.  
UPMC’s Radiology and Nuclear Medicine unit offers the most current diagnostic
tools that physicians can rely on.
This mammography particularly caught my attention. It looks so dainty, right? I love the touch of pink! Mammography service was on promotion last July (the  procedure is for P999 pesos only), I wonder if the promo is still on-going.
Aside from advanced facilities, I was told that doctors in UPMC are better trained. The hospital is manned by competent medical, dental and paramedical practitioners affiliated with UP and PGH. There are over 300 clinics of faculty doctors within FMAB, making referral to other specialists easier and faster. 

With UPMC’s competent doctors, advanced diagnostics, and no confinement surgery at reasonable price, truly, getting better just got better! I am happy to share this news to all of you, moms!
